Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 teaspoons Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 teaspoon dried basil, crumbled
• 2 cups plain low-fat yogurt
• 1 tablespoon milk, 1% lowfat

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

In a large bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, and whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and 2 tablespoons of the cheese.

In small skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderate heat.

Add the basil and cook for 1 minutes; transfer to a small bowl and cool slightly.

Stir in the yogurt, milk, and remaining 1 tablespoon of oil.

Add the basil mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
